Jamie Lynn: Mom -- and Wife -- to Be?

Isn't this statutory rape?

Arthur...not if your wealthy. If they were poor folk then sure enough that 18 yo boy would be under the prison.

It some states it is. But not in Louisana.

Well hell, if a shotgun weddin wud good enough fer her dad-burnt mom, what's the ruckus? Ain't nowhar says a sixteen year old cain't be a gud mother.

Louisiana: Felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile is sexual intercourse with consent between (1) someone age 19 or older and someone between age 12 and 17 or (2) someone age 17 or older and someone between age 12 and 15. Up to 10 years in prison (with or without hard labor). Most states do not refer specifically to statutory rape; instead they use designations such as sexual assault and sexual abuse to identify prohibited activity. Sounds like it to me.

@Opus: By your own given definition, he is in a "green zone" on the issue. He was 18 (under the age neccessary for conviction according to definition # 1) and she was 16 (above the age required for conviction under definition # 2).
I love how you define what it (statutory rape) and this incident (the pregnancy) does not fit that definition, YET you still say "sounds like it to me". Hello? Pilot to Co-pilot switch brain on! LOL !

Obama's Pastor Slurs Italians

Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., pastor emeritus of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago where Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has been a member for two decades, slurred Italians in a piece published in the most recent issue of Trumpet Newsmagazine.

what the heck - SATAN does this have to do with a knocked up 16 year ld?

Any normal person would have been charged with Child Rape...look at that poor black kid that spent time in prison for having oral sex with someone slightly younger with consent! This world is just plain crazy!!!

She seems more responsible than her sister. I'm glad she's getting married, but I still think she did the wrong thing by getting pregnant at such a young age. Her show Zoey 101 are for preteens and young teens, not a very good role model here. My daughter is 13 and last week we noticed Jamie Lynn's tummy getting bigger and on her show no less. I pray the young teens that idolize Jamie Lynn won't make the same mistake she did. And I pray they don't think it's "ok and cool" because she got pregnant so young. Not a good thing to advertise on her show. But I do wish her lots of luck.

I agree with you Alicia. Unfortunately the law and media praises Jamie Lynn because she's an actress. She and family has money, who knows, someone could've been bought off the judge or something to leave her boyfriend alone.

Hi,
First of all I want to say that in most states Sexually consent is 16. Also, if he is now 18, he was probably 17 when he got a 15 year old pregnant, also legal. "Sin" was the premarital sex which is done and over with, not the delivery or raising of the child. The worst thing that these young kids can do is get married and ruin both their lives and the life of their child with her growing up in a disfunctional marriage.

WHY IS THIS NEWS. WHAT'S UP ABC... Why do we have to hear about not only Britney, but her pregnant sister. What is this?

Wonder how long it took him to pay off the ring layaway at the Wal-mart???? Probably longer than the marriage will last.

Young girls are ruining the future. Why can they just NOT HAVE SEX?
Is it that hard? Just because you have mother nature telling you its natural because your young fertile bodies are made for it you shouldnt do it.

I can not possibly believe that a mother would allow her 16 year old to get married let alone have a child at that age. This should answer everyones questions about Brittany....when it comes to these 2 girls the "apple doesn't fall far from the tree". Just because you can make a baby doesn't qualify you to be a responsible parent.....

diagonalley111..."She seems more responsible than her sister". The girl is 16 years old. STAY OFF THE CRACK PIPE...DUMBASS!!!

way to go casey! marry a spears, stay with her for about a year, then bail and get millions. smart!! i would do the same thing. if this girl is dumb enough to marry this moron at 16, she deserves to raise her kid alone and poor while he becomes the next paris hilton on her dollar. think, think, think, think...
